At some point we stopped seeing soldiers like A and started seeing them like B. Was it Rambo? Our military is consumed by an entertainment optics and it would be ridiculous but it is lethal.

Hey @upfromsumdirt.bsky.social do you recognize what I’m reading or is Crystal so renowned you can’t keep track of all the novels she features in?

There was only one item in the mail today and it was an unexpected present for me! What a little treasure during a lousy time.

@annwallace.bsky.social and I will be leading this workshop in Emily's garden next month. There will be bees and there will be blooms and there will be some bites, too. There's more than sweetness in the garden.

I’m staying at friends’ in Brooklyn this week and when I ventured out this morning the street looked like this and all I heard was the tinkling melody of the ice cream truck and I don’t think I want to go back to real life

Here's the opening poem for my new chapbook MY LITTLE BOOK OF DOMESTIC ANXIETIES.

I'm waiving shipping for anyone who'd like a copy for their Sealey challenge this month!

To publish this poem with no acknowledgment that it co-opts one of Auden’s most famous quotes and then to use that line as the pull quote?? What is happening at @poetryfoundation.bsky.social ?

Hey I have a new chapbook and I’m a really good live reader.

I’ll be in NYC August 5-10th for a NYPL research fellowship and I would love to read with somebody or do an open mic.
